It is expected to get the same 2-litre turbo-petrol engine as the Wrangler, paired with an 8-speed automatic, making 278PS and 400Nm. Another engine option will likely be the 2-litre diesel from the Compass, but tuned for a higher output than the current 172PS/350Nm. Select variants of the Meridian will get a 4WD. Stay tuned.
The Jeep Meridian is available in Front-Wheel-Drive (FWD), 4-Wheel-Drive (4WD) and All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) drive types, you can choose from the option that suits your needs.
